And more specifically we explored what society has molded us to believe about … [Read more...]

This week's show is part 2 of the vulnerability episode we had last week (you can checkout part 1 here). Please hold on, as part 2 is better than part 1 (Just like all the great duo's and trilogies!!)
Of course, we all thought this conversation was a load of bullocks at the time, but as we've listened back we think maybe we hit the odd insight here and there! Hope you enjoy! … [Read more...]

This week, we talked about competition vs comparison. What's the difference? When are we competing and when are we comparing? Is one more healthy than the other?
What do you think? How do you know if you're competing or comparing? … [Read more...]

In a short essay style episode, Dobbo shares some thoughts on how our delusions and conclusions of what we're ready for, capable of, deserving of - can have a significant impact on our ability to step into greatness. … [Read more...]

What is it about some people that really gets on our nerves? Perhaps a better question to ask is, "What is going on for this person that makes them appear hostile, threatening, bullying, rude or impatient?" - This week we discussed "Kindness", and how compassion relates so heavily to our ability to genuinely express kindness.

This week, we're SO excited to have our guest and friend Mel on the show to join us and talk about a fairly big topic - "Loneliness".
